So, I have been vanilla trading for a while(Basically HODL). I wanted to learn more about trading types and specialize into them and stumbled upon Derivative market (Options, Futures, forwards, Swaps, CFDs). Wanted to discuss about the pros and cons of learning them. At the moment I'm mainly interested in Options and Futures. What do you guys think? Worth learning? or no? Advantages? Disadvantages?
^ Scalping/day to day trading will always be the best option to start with. Wanna know why?
If you can lose money from scalping, then I will never recommend you to try risking your investment to different schemes since you cannot even make profits from scalping. Probably the best way for you to practice is scalping. You may have smaller rewards/profit, but you will learn the basics of trading. It really is hard to earn profit from trading when you are getting started. Nevertheless, you have to learn from your falls.
